With regard to registration as an Engineer, it depends on the province you decide to move to.

Most of them however require course by course ECA from WES, so I always advise Engineers and Geologists to go for WES instead of IQAS cos of this. As you require at least 1 year work experience before you can become a Professional Engineer (PE) in Canada, the best you can get now without Canadian Experience is Engineer in Training (EIT). I have already got my EIT with APEGA (Alberta Engineering body), so I am able to give you any info you require if you are interested.

Please note that registration as an Engineer is not compulsory. However, if you don't do it, you might be restricted in the kind of job offer you can take.

Hello, i will like to have a discussion with you as regards P.Eng Registration. Please send me your email address when you can. Thank you.

I think getting married while awaiting PPR makes more sense. It is better you get it all done with before you leave.
Leaving without getting married means you will come back to get married and then apply to sponsor your spouse when you get back to Canada and wait for a year processing time or explore the route of spouse open work permit.

Marriage registry needs minimum of 21days to register prior to a wedding date. But I hear there are ways to bring the file forward and makes it less (naija for you), you didn't hear that from me

Thanks. Do you or anyone reading this by any chance have any links in any of the Marriage registries?

Hello Guys, I have a question. Which makes more sense? To get married while waiting for PPR or to get COPR, travel and then come back to Nig to get married. What are the timelines for both options?

Also, what is the timeline for carrying out a marriage at the registry? Can it all be done say within one week? Please advise.

Hello Any help with this? Anybody? Thanks.

1. If you do that, your NYSC automatically becomes 11 months unless you were retained after. NYSC is a year, I sincerely you advise that you stick to that. Also, although it tallies with the course you studied in school...I hope you are aware that course and experience don't have to match. You can use any experience as long as it's under Noc 0, A and B.

2.It's not necessary unless it was during a period of unemployment and you want to use it as a gap filler. Even with that, I think under personal history, if you selected education(which this isn't under), you would be asked for degree awarding institute and type of degree(please crosscheck.). Put another way, not important and won't affect your application in any way.

3.Although only your current bio-data page is needed, I think you should still include all. I believe you can scan at 100dpi if they're too much. Either way, you can't go wrong. Way I see it, it helps strengthens your travel history. Don't forget to look at duration spent in those countries and get PCC for them if it runs up to 6 months and more

Thank you so much for getting back to me.

1. I got retained in my first job and worked with them for one year after completion of NYSC. In your opinion do you think it is necessary for the company to make any reference to NYSC as i was in the same role for the 2 years i worked with them. The letter just simply states that i worked with them for a period of 2 years. I will proceed and indicate it in the personal details section the 1 year NYSC period and put it under employment.

2. Can you please send me your contact details, there is something i would like to discuss with you about NOC.

3. I will attach all passport pages. Thanks. Please get back to me ASAP.

The more i read through this thread, the more i get scared and worried that i have not done something right. Here is my predicament.

In my personal history tab, all i have is my Uni and previous jobs (it mentions activities within the last 10 years). I initially did not make any mention or reference to NYSC in my eAPR but i am having second thoughts. Here are my questions

1. Is it ok to refer to my NYSC as just the 3 weeks spent in the orientation camp and claim the rest of the NYSC year as work experience? - Reason i ask this is that my first job is where i did my NYSC and its in that work experience i am claiming my NOC because it is actually what i studied in UNI. The reference letter from the organisation does not refer or mention anything about NYSC.

Should i get them to write another reference letter which will divide the 1st of the 2 years at the organization as NYSC and the other as a staff position?

2. I recently just got approved by 2 professional regulating bodies. Is it necessary to include these under personal history? If yes, under what category in the personal history section?

3. I have scanned through 4 passport cycles, do i need to include all visas from each and every one of my passports or will the last 10 years suffice?

PS: If you are reading this and you have successfully gone through the eAPR phase please, please send me a message,i really really need your help and a little bit of your time.

Aka2003:
Hello sirs, in the post ITA form I am required to put in a copy of my passport showing all pages with markings. My question is do I have to include all passports I have ever held (expired passports)?

I think it mentions over a 10 year period somewhere.

Hello,

I am a bit confused. In my employment details while applying initially, the system didn't let me progress because i had a 2 months gap between 2 of my work experiences. I then had to move my engagement dates for all employment to follow each other. The issue now is, one of my letters of reference carries the original date as against what i have in my preliminary application, which i am certain in on the CIC records.

I have written a LOE and attached to the employment reference letter. (is this necessary)? Will this suffice?


Please promptly help, anyone who has/had this issue.

Many thanks.

Hello all,

Please I have the following questions:

1. When uploading docs for pof should I also upload other supporting documents like deed of gift, tenancy agreement, property documents tht show source of fund , LOE for pof, in the POF folder?

2. I also have some areas I want to write LOE for should I merge the LOE in a single document and give each aspect clear headings?

3. I was employed with a different NOC but I have since switched departments. I have been working in the department related to the NOC I am claiming points for, for about 6 years now. I got a reference letter detailing all the units I have worked with including the ones not related to my NOC. Is this okay pls?

4. I got my bank certificate yesterday. The bank did not include credit card balance/debt as requested by CIC. I don't have a credit card though but I was wondering if CIC will accept it. All other pieces of information requested by CIC were in the bank certificate. I also have my bank statement. Should I upload the bank certificate like that?

5. I read on the thread tht I can remove my spouses's work history and include it under personal history since I'm not claiming points for it. To do this successfully, I had to click NO when asked if he has a work history. Is this ok pls?

Please excuse my plenty questions. Kindly oblige me.

Bank certificate? What bank did you get this? I asked from GT bank and they mentioned that all they have is a reference letter (Only for current accounts) and a letter of non-indebtedness. 2 separate letters. I had to put these letters on pause as they were very clear they do not issue "To whom it may concern" letters.

Is it ok to use the address below?

CIC Address to include in reference letter from bank: Could you help out with this?
2. Attaching WES report: I read on the CIC website that it is not required to attache WES report. However, to be on the safe side i will attach it. You cannot go wrong with more documentation. Will the online report sent to me by WES Suffice as i do not have the paper copy yet? Please see attached document.

Ehrnie:
I will answer this as much as I can and to the best of my knowledge (I stand to be corrected)

Although they said a "To Whom It May Concern" will suffice, you can address your intro letter to be address below:

Federal Skilled Worker Program
Centralised Intake Office,
C/o Canadian High Commission
42, Independence Avenue,
P.O.Box 1693
Accra - Ghana

Things to get from current employer:
(1) Print out your current payslips (minimum of 6 months past)
(2) Make a copy of your staff ID card before you submit it on your last day
(3) Get the employment reference letter (which I assume you are working on already)
(4) I am also assuming you have your employment/confirmation of employment letter and any related document you were given at the start of your job. Just keep them for records...who knows.

A brief summary of the EE process/procedure is on page (0) of this thread. Once you familiarise yourself with it, then return with specific areas you need clarity on.

All the best!

Hello Ehrnie, can the address stated above also be used for bank reference letters and letter of non-indebtedness?
Many thanks.

Adiahabasi:
Boldinc answered all your questions correctly. But why did you have to submit waec to wes when you have a degree? Age discrepancy is a huge red flag to CIC. Is the age on your waec result younger than the age on your passport? Did WES put the age disparity on your ECA? If they didn't, pls don't submit your waec result to CIC unless the mistake has been rectified.If the did, rectify the mistake and attach a sound LOE.

Thanks for getting back to me. Seems to me WES evaluates 2 results per payment cycle. So it was my B.Sc and SSCE that were assessed. I did not even know their was an age error until WES report came back. The age on the WAEC certificate is one year younger than my age. I have gone back to my secondary school and they have taken ownership of the error and the process of correcting it is in progress. So back to my question... Is it ok to attach WAEC (With proof that the age disparity is being processed), BSc, IELTS as proof of education?

Hello guys, good thread you have on here, big task reading through the entire thread. Eye wan pop out. I have a few grey areas i need help with:

1. Letter of non-indebtedness/Letters of Reference - I know the banks write these for customers at a fee. WHO SHOULD THIS LETTER BE ADDRESSED TO. The banks will not write this unless it is addressed to someone. Should it be addressed to CIC or??
2. Proof of employment: Is it OK to have this document as a "To Whom it may Concern"
3. There was a mistake in my date of birth on my WAEC Result. This was picked up by WES. I have begun the process of rectifying this with WAEC and i am currently waiting for the change to be made. However, i have attached my WAEC result as it is, with my UNI Certs, copy of my birth certificate and sworn affidavit used for processing the change. Will this suffice? Anyone had the same issue in the past? Doi need to include a letter of explanation for this reason?
4. Do i need to attach copies of my IELTS and WES certificates to my eAPR?
5. I seem to have misplaced my original UNI Cert and just have the scanned copies. Will this be requested by CIC at any point? Anyone have this experience?
6. How many months of bank statement is required? I know it is not cast in stone, but what time frame is prudent?
7. Any ideas on how to pay the fees? I don't think any Nigerian debit cards can transact such amounts. Any leads on this?
